Good news hey gemmy. Actually any news is good news.
I just wish they would send around a group email to anyone still on the merit list.
Just to say " You are still being processed we haven't forgotten about you."
That can't be so hard to do can it?

If they were feeling really nice they could even give an approximate month, even if it isn't definite.

Did you email Casey Fulton gemmy? or was it someone else?

Well like I said before, I did get verbal confirmation I’d be on the march course... but haven't heard anything concrete since. I'd hope I hear something soon, but I really wouldn't be surprised if I didn't hear anything until early next year.

If reference checks have been done on you, I’d be pretty confident of getting offered a position, but it’s probably going to be a lot more waiting.

I understand the slight possibility of courses getting cancelled, resources etc, so i think they wouldn't want anything in writing until much closer to the date. While it would make it easier for us if we all got a confirmation now, it would make things a lot harder for AsA if it all goes pear shaped.

From what I was emailed/told, positions will only be offered 3 to 4 months before the course start.

Therefore, for a March start one would assume an offer would take place somewhere around Dec.

Who knows though.... You probably wouldn't believe you have a course until you start day one of it!

For people currently in the phone interview stage, check your e-mail!

Now time to prepare for the interview :eek:

Well, i don't know how any of you get any information. I'm hitting dead ends and getting no correspondence at all with emails or phones.
I do think after 6 months of waiting, it's not to much to ask for a little whisper.
Ahh well

yes I just received an email today stating that my telephone interview was successful! now to re-read all the lovely helpful information regarding panel interviews...I honestly never thought I'd get this far, I've even started a new job recently because I couldn't be sure how far, or even how long it would take to go through this process! (if I get through) I could be a senior staff member in this job before I even get an offer! :p

I went for my panel interview 11th March, nothing concrete yet, so I think you will be a senior staff member before you hear!

Phone:+61 2 6268 4040Phone:+61 2 6268 4040Phone: +61 2 6268 4040

This number should get you to the right person. It's the media number for visits etc. I used this initially for Melbs, But I ended up visiting the Brissy facilities !

Good Luck !

...gemmy you are... A GEM! :D

If you are still looking for a room come mid Feb (somehow I don't like my chances that the room will still be available!), Shoot me a PM.

Parsley,
if your new job in any way provides you with the following.

1. Management who treat you with respect.
2. Guarenteed leave whe you appply
3. An enjoyable work environment

Then I have 2 words.

STAY THERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:oh:

Finally!
 

Received a verbal offer, today, for a Tower course starting Jan 11!

Obviously said 'Yes'.........:eek:

Why the #@%$ is everyone getting referee checks and verbal offers after 4 emails to ASA i aint got nothing :{

Congratulations and well done EnemyMig.

Dont worry Toboto, we'll all get there soon.

Congrats MiG glad to hear you've heard something.

Although with post like cattledog im starting to wonder why im still excited about getting this job.
But friday night beers and poker does sound good

tick tock tick tock.......
 

TOBOTO understand your situation.i gave up along time ago emailing because i waited so bloody long on replies.....ive had my references checked but nothing else has come of it.everyone keeps saying be patient but to be honest this whole process is a total piss take! im forever getting people asking me did i make the whole thing up about possibly becoming a trainee for ATC and i just shrugg my shoulders and laugh!! in the UK it takes 3 months from your 1st test online to starting college, unfortunately i failed the last stage :*.i would say i started this whole process nearly 16-18 months ago.....hilarious isnt it?? emailing aldonna or casey is your best bet though so all i can say is hang in there.i wanted this so badly but the lack of progression is slowly beginning to irritate me and make me hope that this has all not been a waste of my time!! jon

Thanks mont and fivel

9 weeks notice isn't much, maybe someone dropped out and ASA needed a position filled quickly by a local who doesn't have to move etc?
Either way I'm stoked
Have to organise my medical now

Hang in there all :)

i've got to admit cattledog, I do have a job with all those things...

I just feel like since I've got so far I have to keep pushing on...its terrible but when I started this process I wasn't incredibly fussed how far I got through and I feel like i've just tap danced my way so far, each time I got the ok for the next round I was completely surprised more and more the further I got...

Plus at this rate even if I do get through i won't be far enough on the merit list to start until my daughter is in high school (she's currently 10 months old)...:p

the timing should be great - just ready to start Primary School in Dubai/Ireland/Germany (select appropriate) !! :ok:
